Political Bias and Nonpolitical News: A Content Analysis of an Armenian and Iranian Earthquake in the "New York Times" and the "Washington Post."
Keshishian, Flora
Critical Studies in Mass Communication, v14 n4 p332-43 Dec 1997
Examines coverage in two leading United States newspapers of earthquakes in Armenia and Iran. Finds that the newspapers' reportage was more sympathetic (both in the amount and language of coverage) toward Armenia/Soviet Union with whom the United States had friendly relations, than to the earthquake in Iran, a country on unfriendly terms with the United States.
